2) The resistance and inductance of standard coils are given below. The 2 coils in each Servo Valve are wound with equal turns giving
a normal production tolerance on coil resistance of ±10 %. Copper magnet wire is used, so the coil resistance will vary significantly
with temperature. The effects of coil resistance changes can be essentially eliminated through use of a current feedback servo
amplifier having high output impedance.
3) Inductance is determined under pressurized operating conditions and is greatly influenced by back electromagnetic forces of
the torque motor. These effects vary with most operating conditions, and vary greatly with signal frequencies above 100 Hz. The
apparent coil inductance values given are determined at 50 Hz.
